A team wants to add a non-identifying note to a deployment, such as the ticket number for the change, without affecting how the deployment is selected or filtered. Which approach should they use?

Add a label to the deployment using kubectl label deployment my-app ticket=JIRA-123

Create a ConfigMap with the ticket number and mount it into the pods.

Update the deployment's description field in the YAML.

Add an annotation to the deployment using kubectl annotate deployment my-app ticket=JIRA-123

Which command applies a configuration from a file named 'deployment.yaml'?

kubectl create -f deployment.yaml

kubectl update -f deployment.yaml

kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

What is the primary difference between labels and annotations?

Labels are stored in etcd; annotations are not.

Labels are used for identification and selection; annotations are for non-identifying metadata.

Labels are immutable; annotations can be changed.

Annotations are used for selection; labels are for metadata.

What is the role of a taint on a node?

To mark the node as unschedulable permanently.

To assign a pod to a specific node.
